<h1 id="NAME">NAME</h1>

<p>ASN1_STRING_new, ASN1_STRING_type_new, ASN1_STRING_free - ASN1_STRING allocation functions</p>

<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>

<pre><code>#include &lt;openssl/asn1.h&gt;

ASN1_STRING * ASN1_STRING_new(void);
ASN1_STRING * ASN1_STRING_type_new(int type);
void ASN1_STRING_free(ASN1_STRING *a);</code></pre>

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>ASN1_STRING_new() returns an allocated <b>ASN1_STRING</b> structure. Its type is undefined.</p>

<p>ASN1_STRING_type_new() returns an allocated <b>ASN1_STRING</b> structure of type <b>type</b>.</p>

<p>ASN1_STRING_free() frees up <b>a</b>. If <b>a</b> is NULL nothing is done.</p>

<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>

<p>Other string types call the <b>ASN1_STRING</b> functions. For example ASN1_OCTET_STRING_new() calls ASN1_STRING_type(V_ASN1_OCTET_STRING).</p>

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

<p>ASN1_STRING_new() and ASN1_STRING_type_new() return a valid ASN1_STRING structure or <b>NULL</b> if an error occurred.</p>

<p>ASN1_STRING_free() does not return a value.</p>
